This included preinjury Tegner score, age, number of tendons involved, time interval from injury to surgery, and postoperative complications. Self-reported outcomes were defined based on the ability to regain sports activities (excellent, good, moderate, fair, or poor). Between-group comparisons were performed to identify factors associated with improved outcomes. The Mann-Whitney nonparametric test was used for comparing continuous variables, and the Fisher exact test was used for comparing nominal variables.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 40 male athletes were included in the evaluation, with an average follow-up of 11 months (range, 6 months-8 years). Self-reported outcome was excellent in 23 (57.5%), good in 13 (32.5%), and moderate in 4 (10%) patients. Comparisons between patients with excellent versus good\/moderate outcomes revealed nonsignificant differences regarding age at injury and preinjury Tegner score. Athletes with excellent outcomes received surgery sooner after the injury compared with athletes with good\/moderate outcomes (2.4 \u00b1 1.8 vs 11.4 \u00b1 11.0 weeks, respectively; P &lt; .01).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Surgical repair for complete proximal AL tears with a concomitant distal fascial release resulted in outcomes rated as good or excellent in 90% of the cases. This treatment should be considered particularly in high-level athletes with a clear tendon retraction and within the first month after the injury. Further research is nevertheless needed to compare these outcomes with other treatment alternatives to better define criteria advocating surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/23259671211042024","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,14]],"date-time":"2021-10-14T13:17:25Z","timestamp":1634217445000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Proximal Adductor Longus Tendon Repair With a Concomitant Distal Fascial Release for Complete Hip Adductor Tendon Tears: Surgical Technique and Outcomes in 40 Male Athletes"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Lasse","family":"Lempainen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Sports Trauma Research Unit, Hospital Mehil\u00e4inen NEO, Turku, Finland."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Iftach","family":"Hetsroni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sports Medicine Injuries Service, Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Meir General Hospital, Kfar Saba, Israel."},{"name":"Sackler Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jussi A.","family":"Kosola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sports Trauma Research Unit, Hospital Mehil\u00e4inen NEO, Turku, Finland."},{"name":"Department of Surgery, Kanta-H\u00e4me Central Hospital, H\u00e4meenlinna, Finland."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jaakko J.","family":"Sinikumpu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PEDEGO Research group, OULU University;
